"Formerly Took a Day — Now Takes 

 an Hour 



— to water all my greenhouses," writes Mr. Blake, 

 of Columbus, Kansas. 



The Skinner System of Irrigation (either outdoors 

 or indoors) will do the work of ten men with hose— 

 and do it better. 



The spray from the special nozzles of the Skinner 

 System comes down in a mist form— waters uniformly 

 without bruising tender foliage or caking the ground. 



In ore season you will save enough In wages alone to pay 

 for your Skinner System, and you will get better, earlier crops— 

 the kind that bring big prices on the early market. 



Write today for our six books on Irrigatloa — and rt-ad 

 what your brother Florists and Oardeners are doing with the 

 Skinner System of Irrigation. Let us show you in actual dollars 

 and ceiitp where it is costing you money every day you put off 

 investigating this wonderful new Invention. Write today to 



Dept, H. The Skinner Irrigation Co. , Troy, Ohio. 

 Send postal for our six free books on irrigation.

Oeneva, N. T. — W. & T. Cass report 

 an unusually good season in the nur- 

 sery branch, owing to the open winter. 

 Just before Christmas they shipped the 

 biggest batch of flowering plants in 

 their experience. Carnation White 

 "Wonder is quite popular here. 



Auburn, N. Y. — Alfred Patrick ex- 

 pects to make considerable changes in 

 his business after Easter, as increasing 

 demand requires it. Arch. Patrick has 

 charge of the store and makes it quite 

 attractive. A new design is placed in 

 the window daily, if possible, sur- 

 rounded with suitable plants, and the 

 effect is catchy. 



Beaumont, Tex. — Mrs. Bessie Weis- 

 singer, formerly a member of the Beau- 

 mont Floral Co., at Orleans and Bon- 

 ham streets, has purchased the business 

 of the Southeast Texas Floral Co. C. J. 

 Axelson, who has been connected with 

 the latter company as general manager, 

 will continue to act in the same ca- 

 pacity for the new proprietor.
